Implementation of the Chicago Manual of Style, 18th edition

124»
  • Hello, I have been having an issue with the "Notes and Annotated Bibliography" style of Chicago 18th. I have been putting text into the "Extra" field, however, when I create the bibliography, none of this text is included as the annotated portion of an annotated bibliography. Any thoughts or recommendations? Thanks!
  • @ejlehner The annotations are in the wrong position; I have submitted corrected styles, which should be available before too long:

  • I am sorry to be such a dolt, but I can't get the 18th (notes and annotated bibliography) to include my annotations, either from the extra field or from the abstract. What am I doing wrong? I get the bibliography item, but without the annotations.
  • @LWittern The annotated styles are currently broken; the fix is waiting for @bwiernik to review.

    According to a report I got over on github, this CSL entry

    [
    {"id":"liang2018","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2025",10,1]]},"author":[{"family":"Liang","given":"Kathleen"}],"citation-key":"liang2018","container-title":"Choices: The Magazine of Food, Farm, and Resource Issues","DOI":"10.22004/ag.econ.272492","issue":"2","issued":{"date-parts":[["2018"]]},"language":"en","publisher":"Agricultural and Applied Economics Association","source":"ideas.repec.org","title":"Theme overview: the linkages between entrepreneurship and sustainable regional food networks","title-short":"Theme overview","type":"article-journal","URL":"https://ideas.repec.org//a/ags/aaeach/272492.html","volume":"33"}
    ]


    should have "between" capitalized for CMOS 18, but when I generate a bibliography, I get
    Liang, Kathleen. ‘Theme Overview: The Linkages between Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Regional Food Networks’. Choices: The Magazine of Food, Farm, and Resource Issues 33, no. 2 (2018). https://doi.org/10.22004/ag.econ.272492.
    Is style-dependent capitalization even a thing that citeproc can do?

    That's incorrect. Chicago title case lowercases all.
    prepositions, regardless of length, so lowercase "between" is correct

    P.s. No, CSL only has one title casing setting which follows Chicago. There are other rules out there, most notably AP headline capitalization, but they aren't typically used in academia
  • I forgot to mention that user specifically talked about CMOS 18. Don't know whether that matters. I've directed him here, BBT aims to follow Zotero on title casing.
  • Oh, right, that changed, they now capitalize prepositions of 5 letters or more. We'll need to think about what we do with that -- I'm inclined to think we have CSL follow current Chicago style (i.e. 18th edition). It's a fairly trivial change of removing some stop words.
